Pros:
A really nice course for beginners. Not too many technical shots required; but, drive long on 1, 5, 8, and 9 and you will be in deep trouble.
Very easy to navigate this course - except for the missing 8th tee post (see below).

Cons:
Hole 1 crosses right where 2 of the 4 outfielders would be lined up if a softball game was in progress. Thankfully, there wasn't one in December. The hole is unplayable otherwise.
Also, the wooden post marking the 8th tee is missing and being fall, the leaves on the ground covered the high traffic area a natural tee leaves behind. A look at the course pics would have shown the tee is right on a walking path.
A little research on my part prior to playing a course goes a long way.
Restrooms - "Closed for Winter." Shame on you Mount Holly!
Other Thoughts:
Not a whole lot of pizazz on this course, though drive long on 5 and 9 and you are in the drink. Long on 1 and 8 places you in very tall grasses. Hazards are in play on 4 of the 9 holes.
Holes 7 and 8 introduce dramatic elevation.
Bottom Line, the course designer did everything possible to place 9 decent holes in a very confined space and solidly succeeded. With the exception of hole 1 crossing the softball field, the course is well designed.
Though many courses in our area rate higher, this course deserves a look.
